We're All In This Together - Newsreview

Another entry from my Newsreview collection of songs and sketches I wrote and submitted to Newsrevue at the Canal Café Theatre in London. This one was penned in honour of George Osborne's infamous quote that "we're all in this together".

Paul McCartney's We All Stand We're All In This Together

Tax cuts for wealthy men

But the public face poverty again

Yet we hear (George) Osbourne say

We’re all in this together

Wants to sell (the) NHS

This is an idea we cannot digest

But of course, as he says

We’re all in this together

Aaaaaaaggggghhhh

And yet it’s strange ‘cause you see
Aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh
MPs cost more

(Than) benefit fraud

Welfare cuts (for) me and you

Yet somehow MP expenses get through

Unemployment up, retirement age too

We’re all in this together

Waaaaaaahh

How can this all be alright?
Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Work to survive

All of our life

Supposed to be (a) coalition
How did we get into this position?
Young and old, rich and poor
“We’re all in this together”

Instrumental chorus

Instrumental verse

We’re all in this together!
